David Geffen Quietly Sold His Apartment to a Russian Billionaire for $24.5M

The new owner is Russian billionaire Eugene Shvidler, a business partner and close pal of Roman Abramovich. Per public record, Shvidler doled out $24.5 million for the two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence at 785 Fifth Avenue.
